law. judicial activism is especially disturbing in our country. because we have inherited and advanced the most magnificent legal system in the history of the world. indeed, the american system is one of the greatest achievements in civilization. we have the oldest existing constitution in the world. it is an achievement we have been blessed to inherit and that we have been able to advance. so many have you helped advance it. it is one of the main reasons that america is exceptional. history teaches us that such a system of ours, such a legal order as ours is precious, it is rare. i have traveled the world. i have seen how hard it is to pass out a constitution to an undeveloped country and expect them to be able to carry it out. it is fragile. civilization is difficult to build, but sometimes easy to destroy. as i see him address, abraham lincoln said if we accept the small violations of the rule of law, then these violations will only become more frequent and more serious and if that happ
